Rick White, a senior producer for Festival Network and lead organizer for the Martha’s Vineyard Festival, told the Gazette yesterday his company is abandoning plans to expand the August 10 concert to a second night.

The post-mortem report on the tiny bird was clinically graphic.

The chick was laterally compressed, with internal trauma to the right side, and hepatic, pulmonary and intestinal rupturing. The left eye contained sand grains adhered to the surface and compressed within, misshaping it. There was trauma to the left side of the brain and the pelvis was squashed out of alignment.
